Javier Milei, the radical presidential front-runner in Argentina, may need time to fulfill his campaign promises of scrapping the peso currency and reducing taxes on grains if elected, according to advisers, who suggest he could use executive decrees to avoid congressional obstacles.
María Barro, a domestic worker in Buenos Aires, supports the idea of dollarizing Argentina's economy as a hedge against inflation and the devaluation of the local peso, but is undecided about voting for libertarian candidate Javier Milei due to his aggressive style; Milei's dollarization plan has sharply divided opinion, with supporters arguing it is a solution to inflation while detractors say it would sacrifice the country's ability to set interest rates and control money circulation.
Argentine presidential candidate Javier Milei, known for his radical and aggressive style, has gained momentum in the country's political landscape with his promises to tackle economic volatility, inflation, and decline, as well as his pledge to dollarize the economy. He is seen as the front-runner in the upcoming October election, although his aggressive style has both appealed to and put off voters.
